Every year on December 23rd, while the rest of the world is busy wrapping presents and scrambling for last-minute shopping, something wonderfully weird takes over the central square of Oaxaca City. It's called La Noche de los Rábanos — the Night of the Radishes — and it’s exactly what it sounds like… only way stranger.

If you've ever dreamed of standing where myths were born, where the sea howls like a war cry and the wind tells stories older than time, then welcome to Tintagel Castle. Perched on the rugged cliffs of North Cornwall, this windswept ruin has long been wrapped in legend—chief among them: the birth of King Arthur.
